THE WILDERNESS • THE WILDLIFE •
THE SURVIVAL
For the deer, it is an old familiar story. They have survived thousands of years. Small and defenseless as they seem,
they have outlived the
mammoths and the mastodons,
the giant bison and the huge bears,
the dire wolves and the
saber-toothed tigers
that roamed this land
near the retreating glacier
of the last ice age.
The Key Deer still live in wildness,
never far from the edge of flight.
If the toy deer survive the age of man,
it will be because we value the
beauty of the wildness and
care for the land that gives it life.
